Faithful ole Massa, -

A rare instance of the fidelity of two
colored men to their former master has
just come to public attention in Wilkin-
son county. Ga. Before the war one of the
proudest slave-owners in that section
was Col. Downing. He was the owner
of large tracts of land as well as of
numbers of slaves. When the troubles
of 1861 came on, he was the rankest
secessionist in the county. The strug-
gle left him land poor. Acre by acre
he sold it of, being unable to square
himself with the new order of things.
At last. when all his land was gone and
his family dead. he was affected with
blindness and was in danger of being
put in the county poor-house. They
must not do that with old MASTER" said
Joe Downing.
Joe and his brother Peter were the
slaves of Col. Downing before the war.
and always went under his name.
While their old master was going down
in the world these two colered men were
hard at work and saving money. They
purchased $50 acres of rich land. built
thereon comfortable house. accumu-
lated live stock and farming imple-
ments, and had good credit at the bank.
To this home they took their old mas
ter. installed him in the best rooms, and
compelled all the people around to treat
him with the utmost respect
Lately Col. Downing has been fear
full that his death was approaching, and
seemed to be fearful that he might be
buried as pauper. To ease his mind
on this matter, the brothers have just
deposited in bank in Milledgeville 500
to be held until the old mans death,
with which to pay all funeral expenses.

Genius and Drink.

1t is said on good authority. that Ed
gar A. Poe ever and anon imbibed the
popular beverages of his day and age,
some of which contained alcohol We
are led to believe these statements be-
cause they remain as yet undenied. But
Poe did a great deal of good in that
way, for he set an example that has
been followed ever since, more or less,
by quite a number of poets apprentices
who emulated Poe's great gift as a
drinker. These men, thinking that
poesy and delirum tremens went hand
in hand, became fluent drunkards early
in their career, so that finally, instead
of issuing a small blue volume of pc
ems, they punctuated drunkard's
grave.
So we see that Poe did great work
aside from what he wrote. He openee
up a way for these men which eradi-

The One Horse Farmer

The one horse farmer has a life long
ambition to gain reputation for wear
ing dirty shirt.
He win alarm the neighborhood by
getting up two hours before day. then
set around and not go to work till after
sun-up.
He will ride around week looking
for 90 hog.
He will complain of hard times. then
tear his pants climbing fence where a
gate ought to be.
He will pay 50 for new bride. then
let the calf chew 1t to pieces before Sun
day.
He will get all his neighbors to help
in getting COW out of the bog, then
let her die for want of attention.
Stock will get in and destroy his crop
at place in his fence that he has been
putting off fixing for six months.
He will sprain his back lifting some
thing to show how strong he is.
He will talk all day Sunday on what
he knows about farming, then ride
around the neighborhood Monday,
hunting seed potatoes.
He will go in his shirt sleeves on a
cold day, to show how much he can
stand. then return home at night and
occupy two-thirds of the fireplace till
bed time.
He will ridicule the mechanism of a
cotton planter and then go out and mash
his thumb ma ling board on the fence.
He VIII go to town on Saturday and
come back with fifty cents worth of
coffee, a paper of pins, adollar's worth
of chewing tobacco and his belly full of
whisky.
He is economical; economy is his
forte; he will save ten cents worth of
axle grease and ruin the spindle of a
$40 wagon.
He won't subscribe for a newspaper
but will borrow one from his friend and
forget TO return it.-NaUasota Tablet.

Acoustics Is always singular.

Cut bias, and not cut on the bias.
Allow should not be used for admit.
Come to see me, and not come and
see me.
Bursted is not elegant and is rarely
correct
Almost, with negative, is ridiculous,
Almost nothing" is absurd.
The burden of song means the re-
frain of chorus, not its seEse or mean
ing.
Bountiful applies to persons, not to
things and has no reference to quantity.
Affable only applies when speaking
of the manner OF superiors to interiors.
..Methinks is formed by the imper-
sonal verb think. meaning seem. and
the dative me, and is literally rendered,
it seems to me.
Admired should not be followed with
the infinitive. Never say, as many
do, II should admire to go with you."
etc This error is singularly fashions
BILE just now.
Allade is now frequently misused
when thing is named, spoken of or

passing manner. .,Allusion is the by

From Twenty to Thirty the Criti-
cal Period IN a Mans Life.

From the Popular Science Monthly
II the period between 20 ard 30 is
the critical one in the formation OF in
tellectual and professional habits, the
period below 20 Is more important
still for the fixing OF personal
habits, properly so called, such as
vocalization and pronunciation,
gesture, motion ard address. Hardly
ever is a language, learned after 20,
spoken without foreign accent;
hardly ever can youth transferred
to the society of his betters uniearn
the nasality and other vices of speech
bred in him by the associations of his
growing years. Hardly ever, indeed,
no matter how much money there be
in his pocket, can he ever learn to dress
like gentleman-born. The merchants
offer their wares as eagerly to him as
the veriest "swell," but he simply can't
buy the right things. An invisible law,
as strong as gravitation, keeps him
within his orbit, arrayed this year as
he was the last; and how his aristo-
cratic acquaintance contrive to get
the things they wear, will be for him
mystery till his dying day.
The great thing, then, in all education
is to make automatic and habitual
as possible, as many useful actions a.
we can, and 10 guard against the grow.
ing into ways that are likely to be
disadvantageons to us, as we should
guard against the plague. The more
of the details of our daily life we can
hand over the mfallible and effortless
custody of automatism, the more our
higher powers of mind will be set free
for their own proper work. There is
no more miserable human being than
one in whom nothing is habitual but
indecision, and for whom the lighting
of every cigar, the drinking of every
cup.the time of rising and going to bed
every day, and the beginning OF every
bit OF work, are subjects of express
violitional elaboration. Full halfthe
time OF such man goes to the decid-
ing; or regretting, of matters which
ought to have been so thoroughly in
grained in him as practically not to
exist for his consciousness at all. Ii
there be such daily duties not yet in
grained in any one of my readers, let
HIM begin this very day to set the
matter right.
